IMPROVISATION AND INSTANT COMPOSITION
The workshop offers a space to explore the multi-faced awareness of a dancer/performer in a comprehensive and playful approach. It will provide practical and creative tools through imagination and intuition, working on how we bring our physicality into dance within a real-time composition.
A warm up will lead into an exploration of movement qualities and dynamics, playing with natural principles in body and space, such as gravity, breath, energy flow. Integrating speed changes, textures and coordination, to create fluidity, efficiency and awareness in the movement, we will observe and rediscover our own interaction with vocabulary, timing and rhythm. Exploring different movement ideas, we will challenge our creativity and perception as well as the movement research. Growing from individual tuning to partnering and group work constellations, the dance composition will be what finally brings all the previously worked elements together, in a precise and playful way.

EMBODYING LANDSCAPES
Composition lab and Performance project
Improvisation workshop for site specific composition and body work. An opportunity to explore your body in an enveloping landscape, to improve your improvisation skills, creating the architecture of your own dance within the natural and urban landscapes.
A creation work where it is explored and analyzed through instant composition skills, how the body and the sound can transform the space and be transformed by it. The body will become a new sonic instrument, a specific tool for a choreographic score in connection with space and time. Simultaneously, we'll investigate the body' s new abilities to produce a dance vocabulary inspired by a receptive, intuitive, playful and instinctive attitude.
The poetry of the body is explored and supported within the performative frame.
Through this way, the participant will acquire the essential tools to perform an action in an open space and share it with an audience, in order to create a performance as final result.
This project is held together with Rossella Canciello and Stefania Petracca.

IL CORPO POETICO, IL CORPO CREATIVO
Il laboratorio propone un’esplorazione degli elementi corpo, movimento, tempo e spazio, come latitudini interne ed esterne attraverso le quali percepire la propria danza e comporre le proprie azioni.
Partendo dall’attivazione del senso propiocettivo, cioè dal “come il corpo percepisce se stesso in movimento”, lavoreremo poi il modo in cui portare la nostra fisicità nella danza; come elaborare il pensiero, la visione, il desiderio, all’interno della composizione in tempo reale.
Una parte del lavoro sarà volta all’esplorazione e sperimentazione del corpo in movimento e della relazione che questo ha con il suolo e con le altre dimensioni dello spazio.
Lavorando sull’efficenza e consapevolezza del movimento, verranno anche integrati elementi della danza contemporanea: il rapporto tra tensione e rilascio, l'uso del peso e l'interazione con gli altri per organizzare il movimento con fluidità, creando una danza sensibile e consapevole rispetto alla gravità, al senso del movimento, all’impulso.
In una seconda parte sperimenteremo sistemi di creazione collettiva esplorando alcuni dei processi che rendono possibile l’organizzazione della creatività in una forma. La pratica dell’improvvisazione e della composizione sarà lo strumento per la creazione di momenti performativi a solo o di gruppo, mettendo in gioco la nostra danza nell’immediatezza dell’istante.
Il workshop è rivolto a danzatori, attori, performer e a tutti coloro che desiderano ricercare ed ampliare la propria pratica di improvvisazione e composizione.
